Who knew that when the Orioles took Matt Wieters and Caleb Joseph in the first seven rounds of the 2008 MLB draft, they would be getting two of the better catchers available in that pool of players?
Clearly, Wieters, now starring for the big league club is a sure-fire star, but had Joseph been the only backstop taken, no doubt the club would be touting the 23-year old as the organization's catcher of the future. He's that good.
And better yet, should Wieters eventually outgrow the catcher position, as some fear, Joseph could be there to give the Orioles an in-house replacement.
